(+) Yeah! (+)

Instead of apple juice.

HONOLULU, Hawaii A preschool in Hawaii accidentally served students Pine-Sol instead of apple juice during snack time, according to a report released by the State Department of Health.

KHON2 reported that it happened Tuesday at Kilohana United Methodist Church Preschool in Honolulu. The students are OK, but three of them were evaluated by emergency responders.

Officials said a classroom assistant was preparing morning snacks in the kitchen and saw the yellow and brown colored liquid container on a clean-up cart.

The assistant then poured the Pine-Sol in glasses and served it to the students, ages 4 and 5, thinking it was apple juice, according to the report.

A teacher smelled the Pine-Sol and realized it wasnt apple juice and stopped students from drinking it.

The health departments report includes the following notes:

Spoke to the director about the complaint and events leading up to the incidence. She stated the morning snacks were being prepared by the classroom assistant in the kitchen. The snacks consisted of dry crackers and juice. The assistant saw the yellow/brown colored liquid container on a clean-up cart in the kitchen and returned to the classroom with the crackers and container with liquid.

The assistant poured the liquid into cups as the classroom teacher oversaw the students at the restroom. The classroom teacher smelled that it was not apple juice and stopped the students from drinking it.

The liquid was in the original Pine-Sol container and proper labeled. The cart has no food items on or in it, a rubbish can and cleaning supplies are stored on this cart.

The cleaning supplies are stored below the kitchen sink and in the janitors room. All the food items in the kitchen are properly stored and labeled in the kitchen cabinets.

The person who served the students the Pine-Sol no longer works at the school, according to KHON2. The school informed parents about the incident in an email.

I bet. The school was seeing lawsuits under their bed at night.

This was no accident, apple juice and pine sol smell completely different and yes a person would notice the smell not being correct.

Unless they lack a sense of smell.

Yes "accidentally". I can't understand how one would make that mistake.

Either that assistant was a complete moron or this was an attempt at a YouTube prank that went horribly wrong.

Playing devil's advocate here...perhaps the assistant couldn't read.

Pine Sol in the bottle has a strong enough smell that you can usually smell it with the bottle closed, they really telling people that someone poured a class full of cups and didn't smell it?
---

Bruh pine-sol's smell is strong af. You can smell that shit from a room away. She did this intentionally.
---

Reading the story I figured it was like... used pine-sol that had been scraped into some kind of container for disposal. Something that could at least be be mistaken for a pitcher of drinkable liquid.

The fact that it was literally in its original container leads me to think charges should be filed.

life in prison unless shes like genuinely disabled

What the hell

That assistant was trying to kill some kids

This is why a bachelor degree is required for pretty much every job nowadays. It's about the only way to safely assume any degree of functional literacy.

Considering how strong the smell of Pine-sol is, and the bottle was clearly labeled and on a clean-up rack...I think this was intentional.

This assistant was probably some developmentally challenged individual. When I was in school our cafeteria staff was nothing but them and our food was awful to the point of being inedible.
I can see how one of them would mistake pine sol for apple juice because they literally did not know any better.

Anosmia could explain them not noticing the smell, but considering it was in the original container and somewhere that food wouldn't be, I'm still pretty convinced this wasn't an accident.

We're this malicious, there'd be an arrest report.

It's been like a day since this happened. An arrest is still very possible - probably likely even; as even if it wasn't intentional, I'm sure the level of negligance that'd be involved in something like that by a person in their position would constitute some kind of crime, surely?
